My favorite story is the one where a man invents a machine that can hear plants...
Tylendal
Where's the man who get's bludgeoned to death by a frozen leg of lamb wielded by his pregnant wife?

PrinceDoran

YoSoyMilk

Tylendal

BlackLabsAreBest
He wrote some of the best children's fiction ever. His short stories are excellent too
JustAnotherLinkInTheChain
Damn I think I read all of those books.
loveallthebunnies
Yeah, those were my favorites when I was kid. :)
Tylendal
Where's Danny, the Champion of the World? I loved that book as a kid, read it so many times. A couple of pheasants in the sky would be good.
Silliosophical

I'm a little bummed they're making a movie because I feel like they'll ruin it. It upsets me ALMOST as much as the remake of Pete's Dragon.
Mushroombadger
And Danny!
ArsonMurderandJaywalking
And the twits.

God I love the twits

SmeesNotVeryGoodTwin
He's got a major case of Far Side Face then.
kolfacekilla
they used the depp willy wonka. that is.....unfortunate.
RedWingsofSteel
Wasn't Dahl an anti-semite?
SirWadeWilson
I think your thinking of fellow child hood icon Walt Disney.
OldSaintDickolas
Say what you want but that one was far closer to the book than the original we all grew up with.
craggyp
well, you could always create your own art in the style that you want. just saying.
ShimmyShimmyYahShimmyYamShimmyYay
As someone who can't create art, i rely on others to create art exactly how i want it.
kantackistan
Having grown up and adored the gene wilder version, I have to admit depp's seems a little closer to the character in the book.
SpaceFucker
Dahl wrote the screenplay for the Wilder version.
Buckbeak1486
What? Batshit crazy, and possibly a little homosexual?
GunnersaurusRex
Dahl hated the original movie. Fought like crazy to get the Depp version made. The original movie was made to sell candy. Still great though
ThomasTheWankEnglne
Irony is wilder felt the exact opposite and didn't like that depp or anyone made it again.
skippingmyhsreuniontogetdrunkinmydriveway
He did not hate it.
GunnersaurusRex
I'm not trying to instigate anything. Just look up what he had to say on the movie
